CHURN-M'OTOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Iietters Patent No. 301,678, dated July 8, 1884.

Application filed May 15, 1584. (No model.)

of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Churn-Motors, of which the following is a specification, reference bei-ng had therein to the accompanying drawings.

Figure l is a front elevation; Fig. 2, a side This invention relates to certain improvements in churn-motors, which are fully set forth and explained in the following specification and claims. I

Referring to the drawings, A is a frame bearing the train of gears m, n, r, s, s, and e, which are driven by a coil-spring, B, when wound up in the ordinary manner. The shaft of pinion e extends out through the frame, as shown in Fig. 2, and has firmly attached to it the trammel or slotted wheel a. This wheel has two slots crossing each other at right angles and forming guides for two sliding blocks, to which the pitman c is connected,and which pitman connects below with the churn-dasher yof the churn D. As the wheel a rotates the sliding blocks keep in their grooves, crossing each others tracks, and the pitman makes two up and two down strokes for each revolution of the wheel a. By the use of this slotted wheel or trammel a much more frequent reciprocation is given the churn-dasher than by means of an ordinary crank and pitman, and consequently more quickly churns the cream.

The spring B is intended to be wound up and furnish the motive power to propel the gearing and trammel for some little time, thus obviating the necessity of churning by/manual power.

The lid 2 of the churn is provided on its under side with a plate, :0, held by the arms :0, which plate has a central aperture for the "dasher y to pass through to cause it to reciprocate vertically withouta swayinglateralmotion, so it can be operated by the pitman'z, as shown.

I do not claim the trammel to be new,when disconnected from the other parts described; neither do I claim it is new to run a churndasher by gearing deriving its motive power from a coilspring; but I am not aware that a combination of the trammel and the motive power described has ever before been used for this purpose.

Having thus described niyinvention, what I claimas new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is as follows, to wit:

l. The combination, with the train of gearwheels on, n, r, s, s, and e, coil-spring B, and frame A, of the trammel or slotted wheel a, pitman c, dasher 3 andlid 2, having the guideplate as, as and for the purpose set forth.

2. In the churn described, the trammel or slotted wheel a, in combination with the pitman 0, dasher 3 and lid .2, having the guideplate 41;, asand for the purpose set forth.
